The IRS Appeal — If the Revenue Agent determines that additional tax is owed, the taxpayer has 30 days to request that the IRS Appeals Office review the agent’s finding. Mr. Cohan has a proven record in IRS appeals, including conferences to convince the Appeals Officer to overturn the audit findings or negotiate a compromise. He also appeals adverse Appeals Office rulings to U.S. Tax Court.
